I'm enjoying a brief hiatus with friends and family over the holidays. Many blessings to you and yours as you celebrate the birth of our Savior!

***

We were blind and lost and godlessWandering a trackless wasteThen hope arose, a glorious beaconLike the star the wise men chasedDown from heaven came a SaviorBorn a child, so small and frailTaking up our pain and troublesConquering where we had failed

You who with a word createdSun and moon and seas and sandLay there sleeping in a mangerCradled by Your mother’s handYou who made the mighty forestsWould lie down upon a treeFastened there with nails for sinnersWould bleed and die to set us free

Emmanuel, Emmanuel, EmmanuelIn You alone we hope and trustJesus, Savior, God with usEmmanuel

All the world rejoiceFor the baby comesAs a humble prince in the nightThe Word made flesh, EmmanuelThe Everlasting LightLet the warmth of heaven reach the coldest heartWith the gospel of His graceFor His heel will bruise the serpent’s headRejoice, all the world, rejoice!

About Me

I often suffer from spiritual amnesia, easily forgetting who Jesus is and what He has done for me—so I write to remember His faithfulness. I'd love it if you listen in and add your thoughts to the conversation!
